Holy Nativity Troparion - Tone 4
Thy Nativity, O Christ our God,/hast shown upon the world the light of knowledge./For, thereby they that worshipped the stars/were taught by a star,/to worship Thee, the Son of Righteousness,/and to know Thee, the Day-spring from on high. // O Lord, glory be to Thee! / Holy Theophany Troparion - Tone 1
When Thou wast baptized in the Jordan, O Lord, /The worship of the Trinity wast made manifest,/for the voice of the Father bear witness to Thee/Calling Thee his beloved Son. /And the Spirit, in the form of a dove, confirmed the certainty of the word. /O christ our God, Who hast appeared and hast enlightened the world, // glory be to Thee! / Dec 19/Jan 1 29WAP Wine&Oil
